Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this Aluminum 6061 sheet offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, crucial for weight-sensitive lubrication system components. Its nominal composition includes approximately 0.8-1.2% magnesium and 0.4-0.8% silicon, contributing to its good corrosion resistance and weldability. The T6 temper designation signifies a heat-treated and artificially aged condition, providing enhanced mechanical properties, including a yield strength of approximately 35,000 psi and an ultimate tensile strength of around 38,000 psi. These characteristics ensure durability and performance in demanding industrial lubrication environments.
